I began welding bugs back in the early 80's and have been through more Mig wire & gas bottles than i care to remember. Over this period of time i have built up a good knowledge of the in's & out's of Beetle construction. Anyone whose been involved in the repair or restoration of a Beetle will tell you that the aftermarket panels that are available can leave quite a lot to the imagination (and the angle grinder!!).

It's to this end that i began producing my own panels to overcome this lack of quality/unavailability. Hooky's Panel Shop was formed in 2000, with two main priorities- 'Quality' and 'Fit', saving the restorer time in fitting the panel and producing a better end result.

I will be adding more panels to the currently modest range in the future. Watch this space!
